Default Rust issues

As anyone seen that their truck is rusting out on the putter radiator supports? If u look underneath behind the front bumper u see the corners of the front radiator support. Ha anyone ever seen this or fixed it? Every truck I look at to buy has this same issue so I'm Leary to buy them. I live in Maine so the winter takes its toll
